Socioemotional Well-Being and Literacy in Syrian Refugee Children: Long-Term Outcomes Post-Resettlement
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Many refugee children face challenges that negatively affect behavioral and academic outcomes post-resettlement. The present study explored socioemotional well-being (SEWB) and language and literacy skills in Syrian refugee children (N=60, Mage=13.63) in the longer-term (1-13 years) after resettlement in Canada. SEWB was assessed using the Strengths and Difficulties questionnaire. Language and literacy skills were assessed with a comprehensive battery of standardized measures. Although most participants exhibited typical SEWB, a significant portion exhibited low SEWB. Participants displayed difficulties in all language and literacy skills. Low SEWB was found to be significantly related to poor word reading, phonological awareness and passage comprehension. Time since resettlement was not related to SEWB or literacy, suggesting literacy difficulties persist post-resettlement. Our findings demonstrate a relation between SEWB and academic outcomes, and show the importance of interventions that bolster not only academics, but the mental health needs of target populations.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
